Chocolate Sundays

Never knew Hopetoun Tea Rooms existed. Ignorant me, its famous. Full, no seats available and there were people queueing to get in!

Had Chocolait on Little Burke last week where we talked for hours around a little coffee table just like they do on the sitcom Friends. This week we headed to Lt Collins
Impressed by the interior. We didnt wait though, instead we headed to Ganache, another chocolatier nearby

Brownie, tripple chocolate mousse and almond something cake! Devine! Combined with hours of endless chatter and laughter. Perfect Sunday afternoon.

$7.50 for my cake, dont convert to Ringgit, it kills.

Sooo glad to be earning Australian Dollar! Not the ideal career, I'm a waitress, who cooks burgers and wraps, cleans the kitchen and handles the cash register too. Hourly wage, i probably might not even hit the lowest tax bracket this year

But i'm happy, i love the job i do. Its like a hobby. It wont buy me a house, but for now its okay; i can spend AUD 20 on lunch, tea and cake on a Sunday afternoon, just live a little =) I am able to buy a birthday present for my little cousin =)

Its a start, the start of my life in Australia =)
